Department staff told the Board that the current crediting mechanism is complex and may disincentivize fully affordable developments because 100% workforce projects currently receive credits for only 75% of qualifying units. Director Mitchell said simplifying and clarifying credit language would align incentives with the chapter’s intent to boost actual workforce housing production.
Mitchell stated the Department’s view plainly: "If it's 100%, it should be a one for one, in our opinion." Staff also proposed improvements to credit reporting and transference, including an annual reporting requirement so the County can track credits that are transferred and used.
